The DS not big enough for Tetris? How about a dorm building?

The Russians may have done it first (definitively proving that they have won the Tetris arms race), but that doesn't make this accomplishment by some Finnish students any less impressive. The goal behind the project known as MIKONTALOLIGHTS (Mikontalo being the name of the dorm building that was used) was to make the largest colored graphics platform in the world. It all took place in a public event that was held on December 4th.

While we're absolutely blown away by the awesomeness of the project, we have to say that a tripod and some Tetris-themed background music would have really gone a long way.

There's being bad at tetris, and then there's just not even trying.
